Random Thoughts - 17/09/2010

Lot of introspection these days, as to how I became the person I am ... Dreamy, Careless, Uncertain at times ... Thoughts started at things that influenced me & then moved on to various other factors that contributed to these influences ... But when I started to think about my childhood, the pace at which my thoughts were racing slowed down & I became more calm and sure of my trigger points ... Thats when I realised all my characteristics that I am associated with, I picked up during my school days ... I havent changed much as a person since I left school, at the most may be enhanced a bit of my existing qualities (More of good ones & less of bad ones) ... But every attribute of mine can be traced back to my school days, this I am sure of ...

Crisis is something that should not be wasted ...

Everyone forgets that crisis is built into the system & that there is no growth without innovation & you have no innovation without a crisis.

Every major IT firm has started as a consulting company & went public when it has started to grow. Fine, but I realised there is no innovation in this. So what would be a innovative way of starting & leading a IT consultancy ....

I guess innovation should be clubbed with traditional way of IT practising. Its often misunderstood that innovation is completely different way of doing things. So things like advising businesses that they are free to make choices about the kind of service they want to take, but also advising repurcussions that may cause, bringing in transperancy into operations will be a start.

Lot of companies follow the principle that if in doubt, do nothing & to continue with the way things are being done. This comes from the fact that any considerable change leads to panic. These issues need to be considered.

The other best thing an IT consultancy can do for a company is Co-creation, that goes a step further by inviting enthusiastic customers to partner in the evolution. Its no doubt a longer process, but definitely a healthy one in both short-term & long-term. In addition to this, if we consider forecasting, the most optimistic & pessismstic views of future for the users, we can lead a project innovatively.

So increasing the ability of a company in being transperant, to point out existing glitches and to lead change without panic for a customer, encouraging co-creation & to take into account the most favourable & adverse situations that can occur is a innovation in itself.

These are my views about how a IT project or an IT consultancy has to be carried out as on 17/08/2010. Will come back to this post if I feel, I was an amateur in writing this stuff or if I feel I have a point. So I leave it to my existing & new projects to teach me ...

God Bless ...

Respect your choice, always …

Whenever there is a new movie, which by Indian standards is par beyond explanation, releases like Avatar or Inception, we see a lot of bloggers hitting back on desi film makers that so & so film maker can never make a film like that … It is probably true that Indian film makers have not created much, which was applauded world wide, but that I guess is a combination of many reasons … What we wish to make & what we can make are two entirely different things …

A lot of people/bloggers, start criticizing Indian movie makers immediately after watching Avatar or Inception … If I had a problem with certain movie person, I would stop watching his films, and for me he/she becomes non-existent … Why would I still go to a movie & criticize … A friend of mine recently saw Inception & his praise for Chris Nolan was more like criticizing Karan Johar, Farah Khan etc... It’s fine that you do not appreciate their work, but to say degrading things is more of a reflection of your own thought process …

This short post is my anguish against such reviewers … Internet allows freedom of expression & lets respect that …

Sirivennela Sitaramasastry ...

Sirivennela Sitaramasastry garu, naa favourite kavi ..... Naa first feeling is ayana kavi, patala rachayta kadu .....
There will be only a few people whom you find awesome because of their work, attitude, phiosophy, lifestyle, behaviour ... Anni rakalu ga nannu prabhivitam chesina vyakthi Sirivennela Sitaramasastry garu ...

As a film buff, I watch all movies, pretty much .. For some movies you feel good, some movies make you think, some movies you just get amused, entertained ... But in all of his songs in various movies, he imparts a knowledge or you feel great for his poetic representation of certain feel ... Intha mandi patalu rase lyricists vundaga, idhi ayanake ela sadhyam ayyindi ... Telugu lo oka lyricist ki fans kachitam ga Sitaramasastry garike ekkuva, atleast ee generation ki ... when I think why, I guess there are many reasons ... chala mandi ki ages nunchi vastuna sampradayalni nachina, nachaka poyina question chese dhairyam vundadu. Sastry garu, I think, was the first one to do that through his songs. To think from the grassroots level on all issues and to question preconceived thoughts and opinions that are blindly followed for ages is one of the most attractive features in his writing.

ayana rase padalu, do serve the purpose of the actual song, but I guess going that mile extra takes the song to enitrely different level ... If you recollect lyrically great songs in last 15-20 years, I am sure most of them will be by Sastry garu ...
